Abstract
With the increased availability of high speed computers and improved numerical algorithms, it is now possible to solve numerically many steady and unsteady viscous flows past arbitrary airfoils. A survey of literature shows that investigators in the past have taken one of the following two avenues:
-
a)
weak viscous-inviscid interaction and its extension to separated flows,
-
b)
numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations over the entire computational domain.
